<a class="link" href="cairo-pattern.html#cairo-pattern-t" title="cairo_pattern_t"><span class="type">cairo_pattern_t</span></a> is the paint with which cairo draws.
The primary use of patterns is as the source for all cairo drawing operations,
although they can also be used as masks, that is, as the brush too.

A cairo pattern is created by using one of the many constructors,
of the form cairo_pattern_create_<span class="emphasis"><em>type</em></span>()
or implicitly through
cairo_set_source_<span class="emphasis"><em>type</em></span>() functions.

<p>
A <a class="link" href="cairo-pattern.html#cairo-pattern-t" title="cairo_pattern_t"><span class="type">cairo_pattern_t</span></a> represents a source when drawing onto a
surface. There are different subtypes of <a class="link" href="cairo-pattern.html#cairo-pattern-t" title="cairo_pattern_t"><span class="type">cairo_pattern_t</span></a>,
for different types of sources; for example,
<a class="link" href="cairo-pattern.html#cairo-pattern-create-rgb" title="cairo_pattern_create_rgb ()"><code class="function">cairo_pattern_create_rgb()</code></a> creates a pattern for a solid
opaque color.
</p>
<p>
Other than various cairo_pattern_create_<span class="emphasis"><em>type</em></span>()
functions, some of the pattern types can be implicitly created
using various cairo_set_source_<span class="emphasis"><em>type</em></span>() functions;
for example <a class="link" href="cairo-context.html#cairo-set-source-rgb" title="cairo_set_source_rgb ()"><code class="function">cairo_set_source_rgb()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
The type of a pattern can be queried with <a class="link" href="cairo-pattern.html#cairo-pattern-get-type" title="cairo_pattern_get_type ()"><code class="function">cairo_pattern_get_type()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
Memory management of <a class="link" href="cairo-pattern.html#cairo-pattern-t" title="cairo_pattern_t"><span class="type">cairo_pattern_t</span></a> is done with
<a class="link" href="cairo-pattern.html#cairo-pattern-reference" title="cairo_pattern_reference ()"><code class="function">cairo_pattern_reference()</code></a> and <a class="link" href="cairo-pattern.html#cairo-pattern-destroy" title="cairo_pattern_destroy ()"><code class="function">cairo_pattern_destroy()</code></a>.</p>

<p>
Adds an opaque color stop to a gradient pattern. The offset
specifies the location along the gradient's control vector. For
example, a linear gradient's control vector is from (x0,y0) to
(x1,y1) while a radial gradient's control vector is from any point
on the start circle to the corresponding point on the end circle.
</p>
<p>
The color is specified in the same way as in <a class="link" href="cairo-context.html#cairo-set-source-rgb" title="cairo_set_source_rgb ()"><code class="function">cairo_set_source_rgb()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
If two (or more) stops are specified with identical offset values,
they will be sorted according to the order in which the stops are
added, (stops added earlier will compare less than stops added
later). This can be useful for reliably making sharp color
transitions instead of the typical blend.
</p>
<p>
Note: If the pattern is not a gradient pattern, (eg. a linear or
radial pattern), then the pattern will be put into an error status
with a status of <a class="link" href="cairo-error-status.html#CAIRO-STATUS-PATTERN-TYPE-MISMATCH--CAPS"><code class="literal">CAIRO_STATUS_PATTERN_TYPE_MISMATCH</code></a>.</p>

<p>
Sets the pattern's transformation matrix to <em class="parameter"><code>matrix</code></em>. This matrix is
a transformation from user space to pattern space.
</p>
<p>
When a pattern is first created it always has the identity matrix
for its transformation matrix, which means that pattern space is
initially identical to user space.
</p>
<p>
Important: Please note that the direction of this transformation
matrix is from user space to pattern space. This means that if you
imagine the flow from a pattern to user space (and on to device
space), then coordinates in that flow will be transformed by the
inverse of the pattern matrix.
</p>
<p>
For example, if you want to make a pattern appear twice as large as
it does by default the correct code to use is:
</p>
<p>
</p>
<div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">
cairo_matrix_init_scale (&amp;matrix, 0.5, 0.5);
cairo_pattern_set_matrix (pattern, &amp;matrix);
</pre></div>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Meanwhile, using values of 2.0 rather than 0.5 in the code above
would cause the pattern to appear at half of its default size.
</p>
<p>
Also, please note the discussion of the user-space locking
semantics of <a class="link" href="cairo-context.html#cairo-set-source" title="cairo_set_source ()"><code class="function">cairo_set_source()</code></a>.</p>
